Reviews of Residence Fiesole

A fantastic location in its own right, as well as for visiting Florence. The regular bus service from the square to downtown Florence made the city accessible. Fiesole was a haven from the crowds in the city.

Lovely area, plenty of room & space in the apartment.

I wish the washing machine had drying facilities too.

Good location for resting up after via deglei dei, wash clothes etc. easy access to Florence. 20 mins on bus, without the crowds. Lovely town. Helpful and flexible host.

Location, view, kitchen, price, good public transport to Florence(30 mins).

This was the third time we stayed. We have a lovely view from the balcony. Privacy. All quiet and clean and well organised. These studio apartments with kitchen suit us. The accommodation is 10 minutes walk to groceries and Fiesole centre. We prefer to stay outside Florence, as it is cooler and more peaceful. The room is contemporary and functional.

We like staying here and would stay again. We know what we are getting, which suits us well. It could be better stocked with cleaning products and some kitchenware, e.g., wine glasses, a cutting board, a large fry pan. But, we adjusted.

the view is fantastic, the town is small but well populated with nearby attractions that the host was kind enough to point out, a big supermarket with good opening hours within 4 minutes, also good restaurants. The bus to florence is frequent and operates till after midnight, also takes around 20 minutes. Moreover the place has a bidet besides the toilet, which is a big plus for middle easterns

The room is actually a fully equipped studio with a small kitchen in the living area. The B&B does not serve breakfast, but they do have a coffee machine. The location is very quiet, only less than 10 mins walk away from shops and the bus stop for Florence. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Upon our departure, it appeared that a train strike was on and Tommaso, the manager, arranged a minicab for us to take us to our next destination. Great service! There was a heatwave at the time, but Fiesole in the hills was much cooler and the air conditioning in the room was very effective!

This was an absolutely perfect place to stay. Near Florence, easy to get there....but a respite from an intense city. Our host, Tomas, was amazing. He made great recommendations for restaurants, etc. We loved staying there! Completely comfortable and well equipped. We will return!

Not one thing!

Peace and quiet. Independence. Lovely location and views from our balcony. Comfortable bed, lovely bathroom.

Having stayed there previously we knew what to expect.

We were fortunate to have the roof terrace which made the stay!

Everything you could wish for in a self catering apartment. Spacious, clean, with fantastic views. Tomasso was really helpful with good information about the area. Secure gated parking was great for motorcycles.

Absolutely superb accommodation. Perfectly situated amongst excellent restaurants and close for travelling to Mugello! Exceptionally clean, comfortable and plenty space. Secure car park but town feels very laid back and Secure anyway. Excellent value and very friendly, highly recommend.

Very friendly and helpful management and staff, wonderful views, spacious and comfortable apartment with good facilities

Absolutely wonderful staff and residence - just a short walk to the Piazza with fabulous eateries and the number 7 bus , leaving every 15 mins to Florence - supermarket at the ready - washing machine on hand and all the help and information you need. Thanks

Absolutely nothing to not like here.

Spacious and comfortable apartment. Wonderful view! Very easy to communicate with the host.

Position and outlook

It was a bit too hilly for our old legs 😊 It would have been nice if there had been a basic ‘welcome’ pack, so that we could have at least made a cup of coffee or tea, apart from a vending machine on the property.

the views amazing, the place was clean and had everything we needed

Property view is beautiful. Room was clean and comfortable. 20 minutes to central Florence via reliable bus service available in town center of Fiesole, as well as a few small restaurants and co-op market about a 10/15 minute uphill walk from property, So, car is not necessary. No food on property, coffee only.

Given we had rented a car, the drive up to Fiesole was surprisingly narrow, curvy and steep and we had difficulty finding the inn. We stayed 4 nights and requested extra towels, they furnished them, however, we were told they only furnish 1 set of towels each for entire stay up to 7 days and no housekeeping. There is a lovely lawn area adjacent to parking lot with great view, we moved our chairs out onto the lawn from our patio and were told this wasn't allowed with no explanation. None is a deal breaker, but some things you should know.

The property was clean and had everything we needed, Tommasao was friendly and hepful.The view was beautiful. The town has some interesting Roman remains and old buildings. Therer are a few restaurants and some food shops. The views from town over Florence are stunning. The local bus is easy to use and takes you into the city in 15-20 minutes

It was just fine.
